foot

Avatar f tn ever since I broke 2 small bones in my foot , maybe 3 or 4 yrs. Ago, I have had brown freckles on my ankle with the broken bones...my left ankle. The freckles have spread to my right ankle and the DOCS , several of them seem to be stumped...now, also as of several wks. Ago, my left ankle has welt-like hives that itch with a vengeance ! They never disappear, I believe something is out of sync in my body. The D.O.'s. Don't even know what is going on !
Avatar f tn The bones in your feet actually shift to accommodate the extra weight. Along with swelling, that's where my foot pain comes from. Just drink lots of water, the solution for pretty much everything.
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for your advices. Have you ever met any patient had the same problem like me? I went to my foot doctor again, and he said the arch in the bottom of my feet are not strong enough to carry all my body. That's why whenever I stand up, the bones in the bottom of my feet just collapse and some bones go to the wrong position. Also it has been too long since my feet start hurting.
Avatar m tn Where the talus meets the bones of the foot, it forms the subtalar joint, which is important for walking on uneven ground. The talus is an important connector between the foot and the leg and body, helping to transfer weight and pressure forces across the ankle joint. Refer http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00170 Your surgeon must have decided bearing these facts in mind. Hope this is useful.
Avatar f tn Mine do that! Even if I move my foot my hips crack and pop. It's normal. Mine started doing it at 22 weeks.
Avatar n tn For the last 6-8 weeks I have been having pain when I step on my feet in the morning, it feels like the bones in the top of my foot are pressing together, I generally goes away once I walk on it until I sit a while. Until later in the evening it beguins again. Lately though it feels like a nerve or something is being pinched in my shin and I have to take ibuprophen before going to bed so that it doesn't wake me.
Avatar f tn about 6 years ago i was a work one night and felt an excruciating pain in my foot and had no idea what it was.my foot became very swollen almost instantly and i noticed an egg shape lump on the top of the foot.since then i have been going to the doctor frequently and was even referred to a rheumatologist which i saw every month for almost two years.
Avatar n tn Sometimes it is best to take them to the doctor and get the proper wrap for the foot that will make it heal faster...with so many bones in the feet a micro fracture could take months to heal without proper attention. Let me know how he is....

Avatar f tn I saw my ankle surgeon a couple of weeks ago and I had just found out that I have a bone spur on the top of my right foot (the same foot and ankle that I had surgery on in April 2008). He told me to do some ankle exercises to relieve some of the pain. He didn't do anything with the bone spur yet. I go see him again October 15. My question is: Will the ankle exercises help the bone spur disappear or will I need to get surgery to remove the bone spur?
Avatar n tn I would suggest you to go for an X-ray and check if there is any problem with the talus bone which is present on top of the arch of your foot. As there is very little soft tissue to protect the top of the foot, bone injuries are common. The second, third and fourth Metatarsals are the most commonly injured bones due to something falling on your foot. Without any fracture you would need physiotherapy and anti inflammatory medications to decrease the pain and inflammation.
775302 tn?1253100505 Hey everyone, I have sort of an odd rash/plaques which I'm guessing is psoriasis ( I have Psoriatic Arthritis) I've never in my 20 so years of having Psoriasis, which I got almost 17 years prior to the psoriatic arthritis diagnosis, had any thing show up on the bottom of my feet. Okay the question part, They really hurt and not like a psoriasis pain, they are sore and swollen and dark purple. Is it anyway possible that it is connected to Arthritis.
Avatar m tn Yesterday evening, after dinner, I accidentally dropped a piece of furniture on my foot. Apart from the intense pain, my body reacted in the most bizarre way. I started to shiver, feeling chills and cold. The shivers were intense, uncontrollable. I don't remember having anything this strong ever. I wrapped myself in an extra blanket and went to bed. With the extra warm they went away. Now, 6 hours later, the symptoms are all gone. And even the foot shows no sign.
Avatar f tn What causes the majority of the pain is usually the side-to-side rotation of the foot/ankle, not so much the up/down motion of flexing and extending the foot. Often the pain seems to travel up to involve the ankle and lower let. A custom-made ankle brace, one that allows your foot to flex up and down normally, but stabilizes and prevents rolling in and out, can be a big help.
Avatar n tn In your case it could be due to pressure effect of plantar fasciitis. The orthopedic and physiotherapy team can help you with this. The foot wear can be modified to form a false arch to support your feet. The pain could also be referred pain from knee joint due to pressure effect. I would strongly recommend you to discuss this with your ortho doctor. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn I went to urgent care got x-rayed and have a broken foot. The Dr. there refused to set the bone even though they were extremely slow that day. Seems the orthopedic drs. In town don't like them setting the bones. They want to set the bones themselves. That's ok but I'm sitting here in extreme pain for 5 days trying to get in to his office to get my bones set. I am planning on giving the dr. An ear full Monday morning, but there should be a law where this is not allowed.
Avatar f tn Primary headaches such as migraine usually presents with one-sided symptoms. Hemiplegic migraine, one type of migraine headache, may present with numbness on one side of the body, pins-and-needles feeling (often moving from hand to arm), weakness or paralysis on one side of your body, loss of balance and coordination, visual aura, language difficulties, confusion and sensitivity to light/sound/smell. You may benefit from a referral to a neurologist for proper evaluation.
1263295 tn?1269927250 One signal that the problem is in the hindfoot is that the majority of your pain happens when you rotate the foot laterally (side to side, like rolling your ankle). The pain can also sometimes extend up into the lower legs as your muscles tense up to try to "protect" the joints from pain. Are your feet swollen? Are you diabetic? If so, ask your doctor if it could be peripheral neuropathy. Do you have bunions and/or hammertoes?
Avatar f tn I wonder if any one can help. I got out of my car and went over on the side of my foot and since then i have not been able to put my heel down on the ground, if i do a get a sharp pain all the way up my leg. I have had problems before when i was younger, i have too many bones / movement in my foot so that doesn t help plus used to be a dancer and week acheiles tendon excuse the spelling Can anyone advise me on what to do? Another problem is i am on my feet most of the day with my job.
Avatar m tn sounds like you have Neuroma A neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue that may develop in various parts of the body. The most common neuroma in the foot is a Morton’s neuroma, which occurs between the third and fourth toes. It is sometimes referred to as an intermetatarsal neuroma. “Intermetatarsal” describes its location in the ball of the foot between the metatarsal bones. Neuromas may also occur in other locations in the foot. You probably should get a Cortisone shot and maybe Orthotics.
Avatar m tn When you see him, as him to tell you a little more about your injury. Broke your foot is a little vague. There are quite a few bones in your foot and ankle. Also, its important to know how bad the fracture was.
Avatar f tn Hi PLEASE HELP I have had a lump on the ball of my foot. My doctor has no idea what it is. It's sore.
Avatar m tn Two weeks ago, I developed sudden soreness in the top of my left foot and less frequently in the front of my left ankle. The top of my foot is tender to the touch and sore just behind the toe joints on the tendons.. You can even feel some knotting/bumps on the tendon that runs to the toe next to the big toe. I didn't do anything that I know of to cause this.. It developed over the period of a day.
